If I get caught, what is the point?

[FearTheJourney]

OK I have used autos off and on for quite a while now.  But here is something that has always bothered me.  I have read on many different sites that say if you win money your account is audited and checked for auto usage.  I know some people are going to pipe up and say
"they do not have the man power to audit every winner".  This is true but easy problem to fix with computer programs that would audit for them and then flag anything odd the program finds.

Then I saw a post on this site that said something like..

"There is no point to having large amounts of tokens.  Because any prize drawings won using laundered, bought or tokens won using auto programs will be taken back."

Or something like that.

Then I see many people who claim to have won money using auto programs.  I just do not know what to think.



Oh and BTW. Very long time member, first time poster.

I can only speak for myself. I have won enough wallpaper to retire for life if only wallpaper was currency. I play using autos on just the games that I do not like for only one reason - <b>BADGES! </b>I love badges and have a badge-jones as it is. I would love it if I was to actually win a cash prize but I would not claim it cuz I want to keep getting my badges in the manner I use. I do not know anyone who actually thinks they have a rats chance of every winning money on Pogo.....at least after the first year...... after they finally tire of entering the daily, weekly and monthly prizes.

And actually I, like many others back in the old days HAVE won something. I won $15 off on an EA game. The game was $29 and the shipping was over $6 so .... did I win? Or did EA use a hook and reel me in? After that I have won wallpaper and actually recently I complained HERE that I had not won any wallpapers in 2½ years. Then a miracle... I won 3 wallpapers in one month. Sure does look suspicious but I only care about badges and will not start any conspiracy theories ..... at this time.  O+O

What it means is if you win anything other than graphics don't expect them to payout if you use autos.

Is it possible a few people went undetected a long time ago? Yes.

Is it likely to happen again now? I would be surprised.

If you google you will see the internet is littered with people who have complained about Pogo not giving them the money they won, because Pogo claims they used autos.  A good number of them swear they don't, and never have used autos, Pogo just does not want to pay out.

EA "Pogo" has enough money to pay out, I'm sure if they said they used autos.. they most likely used something regardless if it was an auto or a glitch or something.

I read a post in here awhile back from a person who SWORE she never used autos and had no idea what they were or that they even existed, until Pogo refused to pay her the jackpot because of auto use.  She said that's how they found this site.  I guess it's possible but my daughter who never used autos on HER computer won some cash and got the check even though I got her a badge or 2.... or 10 using autos on my computer and logging into her account.

SBell, I wonder if there's any way the person you know used one of the old auto mouse clicker programs. They were available back in the late 90's, not that they worked that well. I remember using one when Pogo first started. People used to talk about them in the Ali Baba Rooms, LOL.

Some people might not remember using something that simple years ago, or might not consider it to be an auto program or a cheat program, but since it clicks at a specified speed and interval, I would think it would easily be detected as something other than human operation of a game.

BadgeBabe that takes me back a ways!  I remember people talking about auto clicker programs in Ali Baba back then.  I was a member of TEN when it changed to Pogo.   I even bought Sleepy Slots when it first came out.   I dont expect to win anything as I havent won anything in all the years I have been on Pogo.  Well except wallpaper  :)))

[FearTheJourney]

Yup, the auto mouse and the paid to surf programs.  What a rip.  Every time I signed up for one it seemed to go under or temporarily  unavailable right when I had worked up enough for a check.

[destiny child]

I used the auto clicker in ali baba many years ago.At the time I did not know it was a no no.Did the pay to surf also, and got a few checks from them. That was when I first got a computer and I was o it all the time. Didn't know aobut the pogo cheats are this site till about a year ago. Now that the shame of it. Wished I hadof known alot sooner. This site is such a grat place, and everyone is so helpful and friendly. I don't knownow what I would dowithout my autos. They have made my life a whole lot easier.   :^*

ok i won a jackpot spin for a little over 3500 use a cheat  and yes my account was udited but i still got the money i think its a crock cause i dont no how to fix it were they cant tell i used auto so if u win go for it

[Homer]

Consider yourself lucky. Pogo's policy is not to award prizes to auto users.

BTW, you can't "fix it" so they can't tell. They use their own logs to audit accounts.

Are you saying you use autos and you won a jackpot for over $3500.00, and they paid you? Sorry, but I find that hard to believe.

[dolphinluver]

its true

Seems to me, if you're playing Pogo to win money, you're here for the wrong reason. Go buy a lottery ticket. Imho Pogo is about badges, tokens, and friends. pogo 30 bucks a year, computer a grand, stupid things people say in chat rooms, priceless.
:D

[Zatanna]

I figure its one of the cheapest entertainment, video games cost about $40-75 each so this is alot cheaper.  I dont worry about winning, just fun to play.   :/\

[MsMissy]

Ive been with Pogo almost 8 yrs & never won anything but wallpaperor screen savers, so im not worried about using my Auto's. EA is so rich now as they make all those violent games for Playstation 2& 3 also & god no's what else. Those tightwads just dont want to pay out.  :))) :))

[chell80]

So this site is considered an autobot? why would this site be a cheat? we are not using it to play our games... So if by chance I won a cash prize then pogo wont give it to me just cause i use this site?

[Homer]

This website will not get you caught. Using auto programs is why pogo doesn't award prizes.
